I doubt it. How about we do this: you prepare a branch that implements
this new terminology on our website, and when I review'n'merge it,
I apply the corresponding change to Redmine at the same time?

Agreed.

Well, yes and no.

What the ticket gardener can, and should, do is: "Add 'easy' tags
where relevant according to our criteria for easy tasks." But I don't
think that our main problem here in practice is merely about
forgetting to flag tickets as Easy/Starter.

I think we have two other problems to address first:

1. We have no documented criteria that the ticket gardener could use
to flag "User interface design" tasks as Easy/Starter:
https://tails.boum.org/contribute/working_together/criteria_for_easy_tasks/
Anyone wants to fix this?

2. Documenting tickets well enough so that they can reasonably be
flagged as Easy/Starter. The ticket gardener is not in a good
position to do that. But those who create and maintain "User
interface design" tickets are. Let's all try :)

Cheers,
